Voltage Regulation in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Systems Using Gaussian Process Model Predictive Control

This study presents a novel approach using Gaussian process model predictive control (MPC) to stabilize the output voltage of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) by regulating hydrogen and airflow rates. Two Gaussian process models capture PEFC dynamics, accounting for constraints like hydrogen pressure and input change rates to reduce predictive control errors. The performance of the physical

On Controlling a Coevolutionary Model of Actions and Opinions

We deal with a control problem for a complex social network in which each agent has an action and an opinion, evolving according to a coevolutionary model. In particular, we consider a scenario in which a committed minority - a set of stubborn nodes - aims to steer a population, initially at a consensus, to a different consensus state. Our study focuses on determining the conditions under which su

A Unifying Statement for an H-Infinity Optimal Controller with Positivity Properties

In this paper, we unify two already published results on state feedback H-infinity optimality. Previously, optimality has been shown for a particular controller structure in the case that the open-loop state matrix is symmetric, as well as in the case that the closed-loop system is internally positive. By contrast, the main result of the present paper gives optimality based on neither of these two

A Belief Propagation Algorithm for Multipath-Based SLAM with Multiple Map Features : A mmWave MIMO Application

In this paper, we present a multipath-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm that con-tinuously adapts mulitiple map feature (MF) models describing specularly reflected multi path components (MPCs) from flat surfaces and point-scattered MPCs, respectively. We develop a Bayesian model for sequential detection and estimation of interacting MF model parameters, MF states and mob

Comparing Chemical Reaction Mechanisms for Jet Fuel Combustion in Simulations of a Turbulent Premixed Bluff-Body Burner

Alternative jet fuels can be radically different from conventional fuels in composition, and the consequences of these differences are a subject of ongoing research. Numerical combustion simulations are vital to this research, and require chemical reaction mechanisms that accurately capture the chemical pathways of combustion. For turbulent combustion, these mechanisms must also be compact and eff
